The Best Day of My Life by Gregory M. Lousig-Nont, Ph.D.
TODAY, WHEN I AWOKE,
I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it to
today, but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I
have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings,
and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to
make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high, and a
happy heart.
I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning
dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.
Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my
notice.
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other
people. I'll make someone smile.
I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of
kindness for someone I don't even know.
Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who
seems down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll
tell someone I love just how deeply I care for her/him
and how much she/he means to me.
Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have
and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God
has already given me. I'll remember that to worry is just
a waste of time because my faith in the Divine Plan
ensures everything will be just fine.
And tonight, before I go to bed,
I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens.
I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the
moon, and I will give thanks for these magnificent
treasures.
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow,
I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life.
And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child,
excited with expectation because I know
tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!
HAVE WONDERFUL DAY!
